Psalm 114:3

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

The sea it saw, and quickly fled, Jordan was driven back.

See the chapter Copy

The waters, Lord, perceived thee, the waters saw thee well; And they for fear aside did flee; the depths on trembling fell.

When he the Red sea did rebuke, then dried up it was: Through depths, as through the wilderness, he safely made them pass.

But at the voice of thy rebuke they fled, and would not stay; They at thy thunder's dreadful voice did haste them fast away.

Thou clav'st the fountain and the flood, which did with streams abound: Thou dry'dst the mighty waters up unto the very ground.

The clouds in water forth were pour'd, sound loudly did the sky; And swiftly through the world abroad thine arrows fierce did fly.
